INTO THE WILD is an investigation into the relationships
of humans to their natural surroundings and the impact that they have on them.
Through the creation of Herbaria inspired installations the artists draw
attention to the importance of keeping such sites in urban surroundings and
maintaining and protecting the urban wildlife.
The
installations consist of works on paper,and wood and are located in the
glasshouse and log cabin.

I am interested in the indigenous and wildflowers,
especially in my local area and my drawings in this exhibition are examinations
of some of these flowers. If I have drawn them, it is because I have been
excited by their shape and beauty. Coming from suburbia and its tidy gardens,
I enjoy the plants that break through the concrete and walls and grow - beautifully
and subversively. They can be part of the heritage of a place and each plant
has a story, a myth or a legend attached to it. Enjoy the stories.

My work is a concerted search for the structure of things: taking
recognized, existing structures apart and putting them together again.
The human skeleton is the basic structure through which I examine the
relationship of human structures to their surroundings. Through dismantling and
opposing existing structures new formations are created. Abstraction is part of
the process - not trying to hide the origins, rather broadening the
possibilities for interpretation. What you see at first glance is not
necessarily what it is.
The artworks for this
installation are part of the Flower series. The series
consists of large etchings, images of wild flowers and weeds that turn out to
be made up of human bones. These human bone structures are reminders of the
fact that humans are as much part of nature as weeds and in fact a lot more
invasive…
The installation resembles a herbarium and gives each specimen its own
particular value.
